"Today was unreal. It was so sketchy out there, but I knew I had to stay pinned and stay on my bike. To win here in Les Gets is so special with the French crowd! It's the best feeling!" - Amaury Pierron Post this From July 4 to 7, the UCI Mountain Bike World Series Festival Haute-Savoie attracted the world's best mountain bike racers.
The popular ski resort of Les Gets, located in the Haute-Savoie region of the northern French Alps, has been hosting world-class events such as the 2022 World Championships for 30 years. In the highly contested Elite Men's division final, Amaury Pierron dropped into the course as a top podium contender after previously winning the World Cup event in Val Di Sole in June. Could the Flying Frenchman do it again? The outcome of the race was in jeopardy as heavy rain commenced during the finals.
Then again, challenging conditions are where Pierron not only survives but thrives, as proven by the victory at Val di Sole. Hitting the Les Gets course as the second-to-last rider of the final, Pierron put down yet another perfect run in all-or-nothing fashion to claim the win. With a total time of 3:43.
976, the Frenchman finished in dominant fashion at 6.498 ahead of the next rider. "This track, this place!" said Monster Energy's Pierron after winning the 2024 World Cup in Les Gets.
"Today was unreal. It was so sketchy out there, but I knew I had to stay pinned and stay on my bike. To win here in Les Gets is so special with the French crowd! It's.
.. Monster.
